HAWAIIZR-1 · 07-18-2010

After making the folds I want to form the shield I used my Craftsman staple gun with 1/2" staples.

I stapled through the thickest portions trying to catch all three layers and squeezed the back end of the staples with the long nose pliers.

I placed three staples on each side as that seemed to be enough.

It starts to look pretty good.

Since I did not have enough material to fold and glue the edges I decided to use aluminum tape on the edge and fold inside.

As you can see on the old mounts it gets pretty hot even on the inside when the fiberglass is removed.
